The locking mechanism for the seatbelt of a car makes use of the fact that the apparent vertical direction (i.e. the direction in which a plumb bob hangs) changes with the car's deceleration

In a certain collision, the deceleration of a car is 5.00 g. What angle does the apparent vertical make with the true vertical?
